Game overview
VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) 8 is a bare-metal hypervisor designed to create and run virtual machines on physical servers. It allows IT environments to consolidate applications by sharing server resources between multiple virtual machines.
Product characteristics
The platform provides virtualization capabilities for managing server resources and virtual machines.
- Create and run multiple virtual machines on a single physical host.
- Share processing and memory resources between virtual environments.
- Separate operating systems and applications from underlying hardware.
- Support workload movement between servers through virtual machine portability.
- Allocate computing, storage, and networking resources across virtual environments.
Virtualization benefits
VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) helps improve resource utilization in IT infrastructures.
- Enable faster virtual machine creation compared to physical server deployment.
- Improve hardware efficiency by running multiple virtual machines on one server.
- Reduce physical server space requirements.
- Reduce energy usage and maintenance needs.
- Provide flexibility by allowing virtual machines to operate independently from physical hardware.
